LiDAR & As-Built Services in Longueuil and the South Shore
From Solar Uniquartier to the Boucherville industrial park — one crew, one day, one point cloud.
The South Shore has quietly become one of Québec's most active construction corridors. Solar Uniquartier is reshaping Brossard around the new REM. Boucherville's industrial park keeps expanding along Autoroute 20. Longueuil is running a decade of transit infrastructure upgrades. Every one of those projects needs accurate existing-conditions data — usually yesterday.
DCMS crews cross the Champlain or Jacques-Cartier Bridge to the Rive-Sud every week. Site-to-office is 20 minutes, and we don't charge Montréal travel premiums for South Shore work.
The scope range is wide — we scan everything from 500,000 sq ft Boucherville warehouses to Solar Uniquartier tower cores to Longueuil transit corridors — but the delivery discipline is the same: point cloud in 72 hours, coordinated AutoCAD or Revit in two weeks.
Rive-Sud industrial and logistics scanning
The Boucherville, Saint-Hubert and Longueuil industrial belts host distribution, food processing, aerospace suppliers and heavy manufacturing. Most of these buildings have been retrofitted three or four times since original construction, and the drawings never caught up.
Our workflow captures a 200,000 sq ft plant in a single shift — mezzanines, mechanical rooms, roof plant included — and delivers coordinated as-builts your design and facilities teams can actually use.
- Heavy industrial floor plate capture with forklift-safe workflows
- Overhead crane and mezzanine documentation
- Roof mechanical scan for HVAC and process cooling retrofits
- Yard and truck court topographic surveys
Solar Uniquartier, REM and Brossard high-density
Brossard's density around the REM is unusual for the Rive-Sud — high-rise concrete cores, tight construction sites, and complex interface with active transit infrastructure. LiDAR is the only practical way to capture as-built geometry at that density and speed.
We coordinate scan windows with construction managers to fit around trades sequencing, and we've delivered progress-monitoring scans on active REM-adjacent projects without any transit disruption.
Services we run most often on the South Shore
- Industrial plant and warehouse as-built
- Commercial mid-rise and mixed-use core & shell surveys
- Municipal infrastructure and bridge deflection monitoring
- Aerospace and Tier-1 supplier facility scanning
- Volumetric surveys for aggregate and material yards
- Site topography for large parking, EV charging and solar retrofits
What Longueuil & South Shore clients tell us matters
No cross-river premium
South Shore sites are priced the same as Montréal-Island work — we treat the Rive-Sud as home ground.
Bridge-timed mobilizations
We schedule around peak Champlain and Jacques-Cartier windows so crews arrive on time, every time.
Aerospace & industrial protocols
Our crews meet the badging, ITAR-adjacent and safety documentation industrial primes expect.
REM-adjacent experience
Active scan work near operating light rail, coordinated with STM and construction teams.

Local questions from Longueuil & South Shore
Do you charge extra to work on the South Shore?+
No. Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville and Saint-Hubert are priced the same as Montréal-Island projects.
Can you scan an active industrial plant while it operates?+
Yes. We coordinate with plant safety officers and work around production windows — most plants stay running throughout.
How fast can you mobilize to Longueuil?+
3–5 business days for standard scans, next-day for emergency capture on active construction issues.
Do you handle Rive-Sud municipal infrastructure work?+
Yes. Bridge deflection monitoring, corridor surveys, and utility as-built for the Ville de Longueuil and agglomeration municipalities.
Can you fly drones on the South Shore?+
Yes, with Transport Canada Advanced Operations pilots. Airspace around Saint-Hubert Airport requires NAV CANADA coordination, which we handle in-house.
Do you scan around active REM stations?+
Yes. Our crews have worked scan windows adjacent to REM-Brossard operations under coordinated construction agreements.
Can you deliver in Revit and IFC for a design-build team?+
Yes. LOD 200/300 Revit and IFC 2x3 exports are standard deliverables.
Do you carry industrial-facility insurance and safety certifications?+
Yes. $5M CGL, CNESST compliance, plus site-specific safety induction for major primes.
